WHAT MY CLIENTS SAY:

WE HANDLE YOUR INJURY CLAIM
SO YOU CAN GET BACK TO LIVING YOUR LIFE

Immediately after an accident, you will likely encounter roadblocks including property damage issues, rental difficulties, problems getting treatment, obtaining insurance information from the at-fault party, and many other hurdles.

There are so many reasons why it is important to get representation immediately and let me help you from the start. With me as your advocate, I can ensure a smooth process and maximum settlement of your claims.

Why should I hire a lawyer immediately after an injury?

The period immediately after an injury is crucial. A lawyer can guide you on what to say (and not say) to insurance companies, how to document your injuries, and how to avoid actions that could harm your claim.

Your attorney can manage all communications with insurance companies and other parties, protecting you from making statements that could be used against you later.

    1. Ensure everyone’s safety. Move to a safe area if possible and check for injuries.

    2. Call the police, even for minor accidents. An official police report can be crucial for your claim.

    3. Exchange information with other drivers, including names, contact details, insurance information, and license plate numbers.

    4. Take photos of the scene, including vehicle damages, road conditions, traffic signs, and any visible injuries.

    5. Get contact information from witnesses.

    6. Don’t admit fault or apologize, as this could be used against you later.

    7. Seek medical attention, even if you feel fine. Some injuries may not be immediately apparent.

    8. Contact your insurance company to report the accident.

    9. Consider contacting a personal injury attorney, especially if there are significant damages or injuries.

Texas has a two-year statute of limitations for most auto accident claims, starting from the date of the accident. This applies to personal injury lawsuits and property damage claims. However, it’s important to note that insurance companies often have their own deadlines for filing claims, which are typically much shorter. It’s best to file your claim as soon as possible after the accident to ensure you don’t miss any deadlines and to preserve evidence. If you’re filing a claim against a government entity, you may have even shorter notice requirements, sometimes as little as 90 days.

In most cases, your rates should not increase if you were not at fault for the accident. Insurance companies typically base rate increases on factors within the policyholder’s control. However, policies can vary between insurance providers, and some may raise rates even for not-at-fault accidents, especially if you have a history of claims. It’s best to check with your specific insurance provider about their policies. Additionally, if the accident is incorrectly recorded as your fault or if fault is disputed, this could potentially affect your rates. If you’re concerned about potential rate increases, consider discussing the situation with your insurance agent or a personal injury attorney.

A non-subscriber employer in Texas is one that has opted out of the state’s workers’ compensation system. Texas is unique in that it allows employers to choose whether or not to carry workers’ compensation insurance. 

Employers who choose not to participate in the workers’ comp system are called “non-subscribers.” While this can save the employer money on insurance premiums, it also leaves them vulnerable to lawsuits from injured employees. Non-subscriber employers often have their own injury benefit plans, but these plans may not provide the same level of protection or benefits as workers’ compensation.

It’s important for employees to understand their rights and the potential risks if they work for a non-subscriber employer.

What kind of insurance should I maintain to properly protect me in the event of an injury?
  • Review your policies regularly to ensure adequate coverage

  • Consider your lifestyle, occupation, and risk factors when choosing coverage levels

  • Understand your policy limits and any exclusions

  • Higher deductibles often mean lower premiums, but ensure you can afford the out-of-pocket costs

  1. Seek medical attention immediately, even if the wound seems minor. Dog bites can lead to serious infections.

  2. Report the incident to local animal control or police. This creates an official record and helps prevent future incidents.

  3. Try to get the dog owner’s contact information and insurance details if possible.

  4. Take photos of your injuries and the location where the bite occurred.

  5. Get contact information from any witnesses.

  6. Keep all medical records and receipts related to your treatment.

  7. Contact a personal injury attorney experienced in dog bite cases to discuss your legal options.

Personal injury damages in Texas are determined through a comprehensive evaluation of various factors. The our FAQ page for a a detailed breakdown of how damages are typically assessed.

Yes, you can sue a non-subscriber employer for work-related injuries. This is one of the key differences between subscriber and non-subscriber employers. In a typical workers’ compensation case, employees are generally prohibited from suing their employer for work-related injuries. However, if your employer is a non-subscriber, you retain your right to sue. In these lawsuits, you may be able to recover damages that aren’t typically available in workers’ comp cases, such as compensation for pain and suffering.

Additionally, non-subscriber employers lose several key legal defenses, making it potentially easier for injured workers to win their cases. However, you will need to prove that your employer’s negligence contributed to your injury.

Future medical expenses in Texas personal injury cases are evaluated differently from past medical expenses. Here’s a detailed breakdown of how they are assessed:

Legal Standard
– Future medical expenses must be proven with reasonable probability, not absolute certainty.

No “Paid or Incurred” Limitation
– Unlike past medical expenses, future medical expenses are not subject to the “paid or incurred” rule.
